The extensions include; a dual-sided shelf that can hold up to 28 Front Boards (existing ATCA boards) in a 19" cabinet, new board types, additional power and cooling, options for data center optimized input voltage range, and an increase in the Base Interface bandwidth. All of these extensions to ATCA were developed with backward compatibility in mind.

Typical embedded applications include video transcoding, image analysis and recognition, high speed physics experiments, wireless test, simulations and encryption/decryption where size, modularity, environmental requirements and power consumption make it impractical to use standard server based equipment.

With power and cooling support for up to 400 W per slot and up to 500 W in a single slot configuration, the new Centellis 2100 enables systems integrators to increase performance and I/O bandwidth per slot, while preparing for future performance upgrades that will have increasing power and cooling requirements.

With a 14-slot backplane supporting 40GbE communication between ATCA blades and front-to-rear cooling, the PXS1340 13U AdvancedTCA Shelf is ideal for high-end telecom, defense, networking, and communications applications. Designed to meet NEBS, the PXS1340 provides full redundancy of all Field Replaceable Units.

The AMC523 is a dual DAC at 250 Mega Samples Per Second (MSPS) at 16-bit resolution. It comes in a double module, mid-size (full-size is optional) and routes x8 or dual x4 PCIe to the backplane. The module features a Kintex-7 FPGA with 2 GB of DDR3 memory, allowing for large buffer sizes to be storing during processing and queueing data to the host.

Signal Processing Devices Sweden AB (SP Devices) has received an order from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) for waveform digitizers to be used in the upgrade of the data acquisition system at the neutron time-of-flight facility (nTOF).

The PXS0640 6-slot 40GbE ATCA Shelf adds two node slots for a total of six node slots. This is accomplished by integrating the Ethernet switches, which typically populate two hub slots, with the Shelf Managers, thus freeing up the two hub slots to be node slots.
